      @@theawfulangler cheers buddy, been having a few problems with my mental health though December and split up with my wife New Year’s Eve so things have been pretty tough for me lately, trying to be strong and hoping to get out fishing again soon 👍

      Sorry to hear that buddy!
      If you've watched some of my vids you'll know I set the channel up because I was struggling with mental health. And the channel was my way of forcing me out fishing to help get a better balance!
      Let me know when you're up for it and we will get out for a couple of hours!
      I've got an Instagram page, drop me a private message on there, don't suffer in silence 💪🏼💙

      @GAMEKEEPER JOHN'S SLINGSHOT SHOOTING & FISHING wow John so sorry to hear you been going through it. Now i realise why u werent fishing at Llandudno, i messaged you as i just wanted to meet you in person and thank you for helping me get through last year with your channel. I hated 2022, From 2nd jan 2022 and alway through life kicked me to the ground. Lost my business, job and income over night by someone i know for 18 years, took all the money out the business. Was forced to move end of Jan, my farther died in march,, was involved in a bad RTA may and my best mate on 4 legs was forced rehome him in July. I was a broken man. Fishing helped and also watching your channel, the awful angler and a couple of others
      Hope 1 day still to be able to catch up with you and and say thank you.

    Seriously I had never noticed the erm(s) until you mentioned them. Now I think you should not change at all. Glad you got home safe. You looked knackered in the last couple of pieces to camera. Nice work on the long exposure stills too. Thanks and best wishes from Ireland.

    New to your channel. Love the vids. You are doing the right thing by fishing hard while young. Never mind the discomfort, get out there. I fished hard and long and still regret I didn’t do enough even though I fished like a lunatic. Look after your dad and best wishes for the future.

    The weather Gods were against you from the start on this trip but 10/10 for sticking it out and a massive thank you for all the videos. Still making my way through the others you've put out and enjoying every one. Quite surprised about the dogging, I thought it would have been more like sheeping here in Wales. Already looking forward to your next session, take care buddy.

    If you want a beach to break the trip home up - pensarn is worth a go. Easy fishing - drive onto the top of the beach - hard gravel and can fish out of the back of the van if the weather is crap.
    Any estuary tends to be a pain for that grassy shitty weed after a lot of rain - ruins a session straight away bringing in washing lines of that crap.
    Erm better luck next time out 👍

    It was a tough weekend for you, probably too much fresh water for Conwy, that's why all that grassy sht on the line.
